Abstract

We study possible multiquark contributions to the charm baryon spectrum by considering higher order Fock space components. For this purpose we perform two different calculations. In a first approach we do a coupled-channel calculation of the NDND system looking for molecular states. In a second step we allow for the coupling to a heavy baryon--light meson two-hadron system looking for compact exotic five--quark structures. Both calculations have been done within the framework of a chiral constituent quark model. The model, tuned in the description of the baryon and meson spectra as well as the NNNN interaction, provides parameter-free predictions for charm +1+1 molecular or compact two-hadron systems. Unlike the NDˉN \bar D system, no sharp quark-Pauli effects are found. However, the existence of different two-hadron thresholds for the five-quark system will make the coupled-channel dynamics relevant. Only a few channels are candidates to lodge molecular or compact hadrons with a five-quark structure, being specially relevant the (T)JP=(0)1/2(T)J^P=(0)1/2^- and (T)JP=(2)5/2(T)J^P=(2)5/2^- channels. The identification of molecular states and/or compact hadrons with multiquark components either with or without exotic quantum numbers is a challenge of different collaborations like Pˉ\bar {\rm P}ANDA, LHCb, ExHIC or J-PARC.
